The National Council for the Study of Security Archives (CNSAS) announced on Wednesday that it had sent 2.680 documents to military prosecutors regarding the work of 32 former security officers, who were involved in recruiting and directing more than 838 underage students in the last years of the communist regime.

"On January 12, 2022, the National Council for the Study of Security Archives submitted to the General Prosecutor's Office - Military Prosecutor's Office attached to the High Court of Cassation and Justice a number of 2.680 documents identified in its own archive, regarding the activity of 32 former Security officers, who were involved in recruiting and directing more than 838 underage students in the last years of the communist regime", a CNSAS statement reads.

The Council continues to identify the documents necessary for the investigation of probation in the file opened by the General Prosecutor's Office - Military Prosecutor's Office attached to the High Court of Cassation and Justice, following the notification submitted in 2021.
